There are many breakfast/brunch spots around Clapham Junction Station, I picked this French themed one on a whim and I'm glad I did. Other places can be very full and located on busy streets, but here we could enjoy a relaxing and peaceful brunch. Even the traffic was barely noticeable. We tried the full English breakfast and the croque madame. The food was decent, nothing was particularly noteworthy except that instead of the usual boring toast, they serve a good quality toasted baguette.
There is a small deli inside, offering a selection of French bits, including the nice baguette served with the breakfast.
We sat outside as it was a summery day and could have lingered there for some time as that street is not only quiet but the buildings are in good condition and there are lovely green trees all along.
Would be happy to return next time I need a breakfast spot in...
   Read moreWhat a let down! I work close to the Deli Boutique and often pop in for my lunch. The food has always been good but unfortunately the service is not. On this occasion I went in and sat at a table which was full of dirty plates, after 10 minutes of waiting I gave up and took them to the counter myself.

By this point I was thinking, god I am going to have to ram this down in order to get back to work on time. Then my meal arrived "Here is your beef lasagna" the waitress said. So not only had I wasted my entire lunch break, but I left with an empty stomach. This is rubbish! I won't be...

Through lockdown they kept the street alive by selling vegetables and fruits, with other essentials, long before many of the other businesses thought to do so.
By reading the reviews I can see the owner is misunderstood by many. He had always been kind, quick at serving and accommodating. His sense of humour is the best thing about the cafe and creates a family feel when you enter. We have never had an issue in the three and half years of living on this street.
Thank you for everything and good luck. We will miss...
